At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, our veterinary clinic near Plumas Lake, CA provides compassionate, comprehensive pet care focused on your companion’s health, comfort, and well-being.
Plumas Lake is a master-planned community that has grown quickly, and its veterinary infrastructure hasn’t kept pace with that growth. A job posting from a nearby animal hospital in 2024 specifically cited a lack of veterinary care in the area as the reason they were expanding hours and services. That’s not a marketing claim — it’s a practice acknowledging publicly that demand exceeds what’s currently available locally.
Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness is a drive from Plumas Lake, and brings board-certified surgical training, in-house imaging and lab work, and a partnership with an outside lab for more extensive testing. For Plumas Lake families who have been managing a gap in local care, having a full-service practice within reach changes what’s actually possible for their pets.
Master-planned communities build out housing and retail faster than they build out services, and veterinary care is one of the last things to arrive in a growing area. Plumas Lake’s population has grown considerably over the past decade, but the pet care infrastructure in the immediate area still reflects what was there before the growth, not what’s needed now.
At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, surgery, wellness exams, dental care, and diagnostics all happen at one Roseville location, with the same doctors from first visit through follow-up. For Plumas Lake families who have been managing a gap in access, that changes what a vet visit can actually accomplish.
When the nearest practice is stretched thin or running a waitlist, an important wellness visit can get delayed in ways that matter for a pet’s health. The Cornell University Riney Canine Health Center notes that dogs often mask symptoms of illness, making regular wellness exams the primary tool for catching problems before they become emergencies.
At Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness, we take on new clients from the surrounding region and provide board-certified surgical training, in-house imaging and lab work, and a partnership with an outside lab for more extensive testing. For Plumas Lake families who have been waiting longer than they should to get a pet seen, we are accepting new patients.
In a community where local options are stretched, the questions Plumas Lake pet owners most often have before committing to a practice are the same ones you’d ask anywhere: does this place actually handle surgery, or refer it out? Do they have their own lab? Can I get a same-week appointment without being on a waitlist? Our team handles the following directly, without a handoff:

In an area with limited local options, a referral for surgery adds a significant extra step at the moment it’s least convenient. Dr. Erin Paster is a PennHIP postdoctoral fellow who ran the PennHIP clinic at the University of Pennsylvania, worked extensively with dog breeders on hip and joint screening, and performs orthopedic and joint surgery in-house. That means the same team that handles a wellness exam can handle surgery, imaging, and follow-up without sending Plumas Lake families to a separate specialty practice.
For older pets, our senior pet care program uses in-house imaging and lab work to monitor age-related changes over time, so care doesn’t have to wait on a referral or a separate diagnostic appointment.
Our veterinary team has spent more than 20 years building relationships with pet families throughout the region, and for Plumas Lake families managing a genuine gap in local access, we want the drive to Roseville to be worth it. Our doctors bring board-certified surgical training and extensive diagnostic capabilities, so a wellness visit, a surgical procedure, and follow-up care can all happen at one location without additional referrals.
